What happened after my crash at Crankworx?

[@IHaveN0Steeze]

What I love about slopestyle is the support amongst riders. Everyone gets hyped for each other. No trash talking; just love.

[@incredible5587]

100% best comradery of any sport i think!!

[@gratver]

Dude, you have nothing to prove anymore. You're Max. A huge example for all riders across the world in riding and as beeing a great guy. Skipping one contest to be able to ride others comfortably should be your goal. Crashing like that ain't no joke, as you probably know very well yourself. We all love you anyways. Godspeed for Innsbruck and greetz from The Netherlands. You will crush it anyways. ;)

[@gypsoy6003]

I dont know how to say this in a less full on way, but as someone with a TBI and has dealt with the thought of having suspected CTE for a year now a thought that still dwells in the back of my mind all the time but a little less loudly, I beg for people to respect theirs and others head injuries. I used to say I was lucky for not breaking bones and only hitting my head on the pushy because my mates had lost months of riding but... Im 28 now it happend at 13 and ive lost my 20s at the very least and I would break bones to undo it. massive Respect to you for taking this approach man

[@Sh_redder]

Coming back from injury’s is never fun but u have done an amazing job Hats of to you

[@craigsmith4624]

Probably have more respect for that decision than I do in most things well done max learning and growing

[@matiasm.3124]

Get better Max!! 💪💪

[@timgrant3742]

My goodness Max. You have been through it. So glad to see you are in a better place. You are a huge influence and determined fella. You said before you are hardest on yourself but you did what you felt was right at the time. Now you are a bit wiser and thankfully you are in a good place. I admire your persistence, determination and drive. Hope you stay well and get to knock a damned good run. Well done and I wish you the very best.

[@ashleytombs]

Yeah max massive respect for update and your recovery good luck in Innsbruck thank God it is in Europe so use people here in the UK don’t have to get up at ridiculous clock in the morning to watch the lifestream and I hope David Godz can teach Emil who’s Boss again and he’s not invincible 😂😂 But we all know that for the. most part he is

[@vivianfaithfull4748]

Sorry to hear your struggles Max but really good to see your community with the riders. And congrats on Alma's win!!!! Stay eloquent mate: your self analysis is your strength.

[@aaronwhite81]

Sending you all the healing vibes Max!

[@nosreuter]

Man that totally had to suck so hard. Can totally understand and respect your process though 🥹 Of course we're still here!! You are always there for all the others, new as well as seasoned riders, you're being an amazing role model 🙌Sending all the good vibes and blessings your way Max 💛

[@MatúšOlšiak]

Max you are the G.O.A.T. in mtb. Thanks for teaching barspin.

[@max_mit_knax_2427]

Nice to hear you're doing better. I wish you all the luck in Insbruck 🙏

[@charlesgronloh8404]

Sorry you had to miss that one, but will be cheering for your next one 🎉

[@IHaveN0Steeze]

First within seconds again! Let’s go Max!!!! This is the sixth video!!! Lettts goooo! Nothing like waking up to a new Fredriksson video!!!

[@joed899]

Healing vibes to you mate. You're an inspiration and creating awareness of what actually happens during a concussion will help riders everywhere to recognise the symptoms in their friends if they have a big crash. Thank you for being awesome. Come back to Aus soon.

[@silentfox8]

you have a lot of heart and even more courage, but sometimes the bravest thing you can do is walk away, you have your health and thats more important than a contest. youre gonna train hard and kill it in the next one like you always do and all of us here are backing you up and supporting your decisions. love and respect from the states

[@thatguy2201]

Rehab and support yes, 0:36 neck adjustment just say no fucking way. Surfers have been blowing up shoulder and necks forever, going on full lock down and that violent neck adjustment treatment will come back to bite you in the 🍑 later. Take the slow and steady rehab route, not that 💩 that you think makes you feel good on the fast track to recovery. If that rehab bloke still insists neck adjustment is good, he's not the bloke for you.

[@MaxFredriksson]

We only Did these clips the other way, it was 2 weeks after the crash! So all the treatment before that was without adjustment.

[@incredible5587]

Its crazy how much we have learned about concussions these days!! I have had about 4 or 5 in my life. Back in the day, we would still keep riding!! Back then i rode dirt bikes i did not discover DH MTB till about 10 years ago and only one concussion doing that and i was far in the wood and kept riding till i got home but headache. Be 40 this year!!! Makes me wonder how those affected me!! I dont think i noticed anything but i for my 1st one when i was in 3rd grade playing baseball in friend backyard and being a catcher no pads and kid in front of me hitting the ball let go of the metal bat when tried to hit the ball and the bat hit me right in the temple hard. my face was so black and blue after. I do recall after i got hit i walked over to a tire swing and then everyone was like go to your parents walked across the street home and then acted goofy my parents said. they brought me to the doc but they never did any X-Rays or anything!! Worse part about that one was the amount of people teachers and stuff assuming my parents beat me and my parents never put a hand on me my entire life!!! I got pulled aside like at least 5 times the week after and they were pushing on me to so yes it was my parents. I remember i made this mistake of telling them me and my dad wrestle the 1st time they asked cause i had no idea what they meant being in 3rd grade. My dad tough my wrestling when i was young!!! well thought i would share!!! Great vid and wish you a podium finish for the next one!!!

[@rapidstyle-driftteam6654]

Rooting for you from Western Australia, MAX! love your riding style and never miss the vlogs.

[@LPx007]

I love you Max, your strength and will power are just unmatched, just be aware that multiple TBIs are not a fun thing for the future. I'm always rooting for you and keep wishing you the best. Take care! ❤💪

[@domgray7587]

Good for you Max just glad you walked away can’t wait to see you back on the bike just make sure it’s right 🤙

[@mrbbqcraig]

Get that podium mate ‼️ You're a bloody legend 💪... cheers to you 🤟🎶

[@adrianwilkinson2547]

Glad to hear you're ok and took the medical advice. You only get one brain dude! Have fun at Innsbruck and try to stay healthy. We love you 🤘♥🌈🕊🌍

[@Olek_mac]

Cant wait to see an innsbruck video! Good luck!

[@jasperk8510]

Good call, the denial is understandable as well. Hope to see you flying again soon, even if it is after Innsbruck. All the best from Netherlands

[@eartharrow6772]

Glad you feeling better best of luck for Innsbruck 💪

[@themadmarcio563]

I’m glad you recovered ❤ sent it

[@RiverCityRunners]

Anyone know what brand t-shirts those are that he’s wearing?

[@izumimiyamura8999]

Not seeing your run in crankworx is heartbreaking. Here's to hoping for a better run in the next crankworx 🤟

[@Lylisuvanto]

Förstår ändå känslan av att inte vilja ”ge upp” men skönt att du kom till insikten själv! Lycka till i Insbruck!

[@ridethroughlifertl]

Heal up, you gotta job to do! Inspiring all these young [looking] new guys/girls is a big responsibility, but I think you can get it done.

[@wayvlam]

8:10 Symptoms of concussion

[@jpz1970]

Concussions are tricky. You can feel fine but it will sneak up from nowhere. Lycka till i Innsbruck!

[@Awesomekiid13]

So, said brand is not a good helmet? I've seen much bigger crashes and nothing to this extent

[@AC-ww6nf]

With the amount of head injuries he's had. I personally would definitely look to a different brand for helmets. There's still a lot of energy still being transferred to the head.

[@Awesomekiid13]

@@AC-ww6nf I don't know if he has a custom helmet or not, but I can't find a fullface helmet of said brand with Mips and that's bullshit if you ask me.

[@theotrovato8250]

6d helmets are statistically the best

[@AC-ww6nf]

@@Awesomekiid13 the Leatt helmets has the 360 turbine technology. BK had some nasty crashes and the head injury was kept to a minimum. I'll try one of those when it's time to get a fullface for myself.

[@aaronroe4127]

😉😉

[@UndCon]

You only have 1 noggin, take care - heal up and go for the next one.

[@alexmorris3648]

Dude! stay away from Chiropractor's please! They are dangerous AF

[@LeoPulfrey]

Not good.
